All Is Well

Anytime my siblings and I are all home visiting, my mom says that she feels like all is right with the world. (Click here for my mom's version.)

Last Friday, we had a family friend take some pictures for us. Many of you know of my strong belief in having family pictures made at least once a year. Unfortunately, our last big family picture was taken exactly three days after Ella was born (my recollection is due to the fact that it is pure evil to make a woman take a family photo when NONE of her clothes fit her and she ends up in a moo moo type dress...evil). A lot has changed in our family since that last photo. We've had more births, divorce, marriages and another heart breaking death. With all our losses, we continually count our blessings.

If you don't get family pictures made every year...start doing it...now. No, don't wait another year or two. What? You don't like taking pictures? Too bad...I have a wise friend who told me when I said those words, "It's not about you. Just do it."

You are a quick reader! I just posted this. By the time it's all said and done, you, Mom and I will have them on each of our blogs.

Great job, Jen. That's why I try to get my blogs out before you and Chelle. You are both hard acts to follow!
